Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub
Infrastructure 30 Apr 2025
Switzerland is building a new 17km tunnel to save one of Europe’s most important transport routes. The project expands the A2 road, which passes under the Alps via the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
But the structure has begun to deteriorate, putting the future of this critical corridor in jeopardy. Which is why a second tube is now being built — one that will free up the old tunnel for restoration. It’s a scheme that can’t be allowed to fail, but it’s already having to overcome a big setback.
Snøhetta has shared some jaw-dropping images of Shanghai's new opera house nearing completion - including the building's sweeping staircase.
Rotterdam is planning a €240M new climate landmark, and the five entries into the architectural competition for it are wild.
The 70-storey tower, designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects, would form part of the city's wider £1BN Kings development.
